Sign Language project

The word I chose is "OwO" it's a centennial (generation z) saying that's used by teens often. I often to relay an expression as well as the sound of amazement. The expression is meant to be cute and I made that the theme of this piece. I took the initiative to make the cute expression to portray and my once often way of thinking. I would call this piece, "If I'm cute enough I am enough?".  At the time I was really struggling with my self worth and I felt in shambles internally but I wanted to make sure my exterior was nice to look at. One of the things I struggled with was my ability to make people laugh personally, I'm the type of person who feels charged by the way I can make people feel. With that the relationship with myself and the people around me back codependent for a period of time because I based if I was good enough by if I made people laugh enough. So to capture that idea I used different languages to show my once often thoughts of myself...

This piece was intended to be a picture of a person kissing another with words that follow attributes that makes the other so ideal. The background is filled with words said by that person and fun experiences with friends.

Romare Bearden collage

This creation depicts a male person with the name Eliel. The collage is constructed of what makes Eliel who he is. The majority of his life surrounds addictions. He isn't facing the viewer because he is walking away from these past addictions. Behind each paper, there is a part of Eliel's body to express that these traits absorb who he has become.
